    1. PW = ₹ 3000 and TD = ₹ 720
    2. PW =₹ 15000 and TD = ₹ 720
    3. PW = ₹ 3000 and TD = ₹ 320
    4. PW = ₹ 1000 and TD = ₹ 420
    5. None of the above
Correct Option: A

Let PW be N.
∴ 3720 - N = (N x 8 x 3) / 100 = 6N / 25
⇒ 31N = 3720 x 25
∴ N = (3720 x 25) / 31 = ₹ 3000
TD = Amount - PW = 3720 - 3000 = ₹ 720
